If you have a condition that is on the approved list of qualifying conditions, you can be authorized for Medical Marijuana. As per RCW 69.51A, A qualifying patient means a person who has been diagnosed with the following conditions: 

 

Cancer, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), multiple sclerosis, epilepsy or other seizure disorder, spasticity disorders, intractable pain, glaucoma, Crohn's disease, hepatitis C, diseases (including anorexia) which result in nausea, vomiting, wasting, appetite loss, cramping, seizures, muscle spasms, or spasticity, or any other medical condition duly approved by the Washington state medical quality assurance commission in consultation with the board of osteopathic medicine and surgery.

Beginning June 10, 2010, a recommendation must be written on tamper-resistant paper. It must also include an original signature by the health care provider, a date, and a statement that says in the health care provider's professional opinion the patient may benefit from the medical use of marijuana. The 2010 law change also prohibits the use of a copy of the patient's medical records in lieu of a recommendation.

ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON,  NEUROSURGEON,  PRIMARY CARE:  we can help patients suffering from chronic severe back pain

Our physician partners require that each patient have current medical records that document the existence of one of the conditions for which medical marijuana is authorized under their state law. You must obtain your medical records yourself (which may involve a fee) Please BE SURE to clarify with the doctor's office that you only need 2 visits of chart notes pertaining to your qualifying condition, NOT your entire medical records. 

Since our partner doctors are consulting with patients solely about their qualification for medicinal cannabis, and can not act as a patient's primary physician, we require that all of our patients have at least one other current physician.

Please email us at info@SeattleMedicalMarijuana.com to discuss our options. Please include your Name and the best day/time to reach you if you prefer a phone call to answer any questions you may have.
